MxF Denanstus's Prompt Search Thread

[Denanstus]

Who are you, how long have you been writing and what kind of things do you like to write?
Hello Weary Traveler! Name is Denanstus. I've been RPing via all sorts of formats for the last 13 to 14 years, such as forums, D&D, Discord, and other places. I love to dive into fantasy realms of Roleplay, really building up and fleshing out detailed and complex characters. I love doing very deep lore based games, ones that involve world building and cooperation between individuals involved. My personal favorite is setting up a game that is a sort of Player X GM relationship, where someone helps to create and run this world. I am down to help developing some small side characters here and there, but I would prefer to mainly handle one character.

Usually I try to get a paragraph to two of them at least when I post, though I do sometimes do a bit larger posts if the scene needs it. I have no limits on the areas of gore and violence. While I don't have issue with sexual content occuring within the world itself, I prefer to not actually do any kind of major smut moments. I am perfectly fine with fade to black, though, and anything/everything leading up to it.

Currently, I have two plots in mind I'm looking to play out, with both having world building opportunities within them and some general prompts as well.

Prompt 1, Cult based, High Magic

The first premise involves a bit of a cult starting plot. In it, the M/C is on death's door, the verge of losing all hope in life and everything. That is when something reaches out to him. Something from beyond the mortal planes, offering him a chance to live but only if he does 1 thing for them: They need to escape whatever plane they are trapped in, and they are looking to M/C to aid them by establishing a cult in which they can gain power and freedom. In return, they ensure M/C that any need he has will be satisfied and he will be loved by all in the cult. How that translates, M/C doesn't know. He simply, in a state of desperation, accepts the deal but not fully aware of what is to come. There are some other elements I'd be up for mixing into this idea, but I'd rather wait on going over those until we're discussing the RP in private.

The other idea is a bit more fleshed out, but still has a ton of room for people to create within.

Prompt 2, Magical Nobility based

The story takes place in a world filled with magic. So much, that it is almost overwhelming for one to consider it. It has reached such a mass that those who live in the society have nearly no needs that they are not able to have met by magic. It exists in everything, from the food and drink people consume, the clothes they wear, and even the ground under their feet. Even with this, however, the world still has its own fair share of issues. Those of the lower classes are those who cannot tap into the magic, treated almost like cattle as they happily go about their day, doing whatever job or task has been given to them to ensure the cities continue to function and run. Meanwhile, the upper class has at least some magical talent, and their world is one of luxury and ease. They spend most of their time and days pursuing their passions and hedonistic lifestyles, trying to host the best party, appear the best dressed, and overall impress the most people to ensure they are at the highest of noble status.

A foreign noble travels to this city from a far distant land. The city is enamored by this noble's arrival, elevating them due to their unique and almost otherworldly nature. As this noble arrives, they come to fall in love with a commoner of the city. The noble eventually weds the commoner, elevating her status within the city. The two have a child together, which they both deeply love. After some time has passed, the foreign noble suddenly leaves/vanishes, leaving behind the new noble and PC child. The new noble is devastated, fearing they will return to their old life. They begin seeking out ways of retaining their noble status, cutting ties to their old ways of life, starting to do anything/everything they must to maintain this status. Driven to a point of desperation, they seek out things beyond their control, hoping to find something or someone that would aid them. They somehow end up finding some being through time and study, going through dark and unspoken magics to form a pact with this being. This being never spoke of what the payment would be, but promised it would provide the parent with power to ensure their position never failed or faded. The parent agreed to the deal without a second thought. The payment, though, was something they would never understand, as it was their satisfaction. The parent no longer felt satisfied by anything in life, slowly leading them to become more and more twisted and hedonistic, dragging all of those around them along with them. However, the child was spared, somehow. The child seemed aware of these things, and they desire nothing more but to try and restore their parent to who they once were, as well as discover what happened to the parent that vanished. While, of course, also trying to navigate a world they don't fit in. Or who knows? Maybe they'll just change the world while they're at it.

If either prompt is of interest to you, feel free to reach out and let me know! If you have something similar you are wishing to play, just let me know and I'll take a look at them!

Had another general concept come to mind that needs help fleshing out, but I wanted to add it out there.

Basic concept involves someone that might not be considered attractive by normal world standard, existing as a serf or servant in a fantasy world. Wishing to actually feel wanted or desired, a fae or other magical being grants his wish, making it where anyone he gets close enough to will suddenly desire him above all other things, willing to do anything and everything for him to make him desire them. However, the PC comes to see this not as a blessing, but as a curse, as he gets no time to actually have peace and quiet, nor a general conversation with anyone. So, he seeks out some means to break the curse over him, trying to do whatever he can to free himself before he is overwhelmed if not worse.

I just finished Persona 5 Royal, and that also has struck the idea of a morally gray villain that slowly helps the world/themselves, potentially even taking over the world with his ideal of what is best for it. A world where everyone is happy and pain free, but also where things feel extremely off. I'd be down to flesh this out more, as I know it is in the early stages.

Another idea hit me the other day involving a character that could fit into a demonic RP. In particular, the concept would be an individual cursed to be a magnet for succubus and incubus, leading to them appearing to constantly having to deal with them around. However, for whatever reason the character is immune to the charms of both types of demons, leading to a bit of comedy/hi-jinx as the demons that are sating to have their chance at the character instead just get more and more desperate to find something that works. Again, very loose character idea, but I'm up for working on any fleshed out concept.

I was going through TikTok the other day, and I saw that there was a movie on Netflix by the name of 'Uglies' that was based off of a book by the same name. When I read the book in middle school, it was one of my favorite books I've ever read, and it has played a major inspiration for me in a number of ways. It also has some inspiration on an idea I had recently. I'd want to take the concept that Uglies uses, which is a Sci-fi society that uses a 'beautification' surgery to ensure people stay in line within society and instead take it in a magical direction. In this one, a villain or an up and coming ruler is granted a gift that could cause people to fully and wholly submit to his rule, but there are unforeseen consequences that he has to deal with to ensure the kingdom does not fully fall apart. These can be talked about more during initial RP talks.
